Key Lime Frozen Yogurt

After yesterday’s hot soup, I thought I’d cool ya’ll off a little bit with today’s recipe!

I heart key lime. I do. My affinity for key lime is only natural, though! Being born, raised, and having never lived outside of my beloved state, I’ve grown up loving key lime pie (along with all things key lime)! Can you blame me? It’s UH-Mazing.

Key Lime Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt… I decided to keep it slightly “lighter” by going with the Fro-Yo option:

I know you all are absolutely SHOCKED that I wanted to make a frozen yogurt, huh? It’s not like I love my icecream / frozentreatsoranything. [this is my sarcastic tone, in case you couldn’t tell] 😉

Boy was this a TREAT! And I have to say, this was the EASIEST frozen treat I’ve ever made (SCORE!). 3 ingredients: whisk together and immediately put into your ice cream maker. No stovetop cooking, no waiting for sugar to dissolve… EASY!

To take this treat up a notch to full on “dessert” status, I topped it with a graham cracker crumble (a mix of graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter – baked off and crumbled), and a squirt of canned whipped cream (hello lazy foodie). OH. MY. It was like frozen key lime pie. Decadent, tart, sweet… PERFECTION.

Directions:

For the Key Lime Frozen Yogurt:
Mix ingredients together and freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions. Serve as soft serve or transfer into an airtight container and freeze until solid.

For the Graham Cracker Crumble:
Preheat oven to 350º. Line a pie plate with foil and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Mix al ingredients together and press into the greased pie plate. Bake for 5-10 minutes (until beginning to turn golden). Remove from oven and allow to cool to touch. Crumble.

To Assemble:
Top a scoop of the Key Lime Frozen Yogurt with a few tablespoons of the graham cracker crumble, and a dallop of whipped cream. Serve! It's like frozen key lime pie!! IN-SANE.

Okay you really made my day with this one. Years ago my husband and I were walking through a quaint little town. I’m not an ice cream/yogurt lover but there was something about KEY LIME that I couldn’t resist. It was HEAVEN in a cup. That was the first and last time, as i’ve not found it anywhere since 8(…..Now I can’t wait til tomorrow so I can head to the market and get the ingredients. My quest is finally over Taksa mychet.

Three ingredients? Yes, please! I didn’t realize it was easy to make fro-yo with an ice cream maker. Bear with me because I’m new to the ice cream maker game, haha 🙂 This frozen yogurt looks great and now you’ve put a lot of ideas into my head as to what I can do with that ancient, no-electricity-needed machine 😉

Thanks for this recipe. I bought key limes to make key lime cheesecake but of course less calories dessert always sounds better. It’s done and sitting in my freezer as I type. I added 1/4 tsp of guar gum to keep ice crystals from forming. Have you used this before?
